Types of Attraction
Sexual Attraction: Sexual attraction is a feeling that sexual people get that causes them to desire sexual contact with a specific other person.
Romantic Attraction: Romantic attraction is a feeling that causes people to desire a romantic relationship with a specific other person.
Crushes: A crush is a romantic attraction to someone, a desire for a romantic relationship of some kind, a desire that is possibly temporary in nature, possibly never to be acted upon.
Squishes: A squish is an aromantic crush, a desire for a strong platonic relationship with someone; this envisioned relationship is usually more emotional intimate than a typical friendship.
Sensual Attraction: Some asexuals report a desire to do sensual (but not sexual) things with certain people, especially relating to tactile sensuality such as cuddling.
Aesthetic Attraction: Some asexuals report feeling an attraction to other people that is not connected to a desire to do anything with them, either sexually or romantically. They simply appreciate their appearance.

iheartchaos:
You and I, mere mortals as we are, get a traffic ticket and either accept it or come up with some idiotic sounding excuse like “Uh, I didn’t see that stop sign” or “I didn’t know I was speeding because I was texting”. But physicist Dmitri Krioukov of the University of California San Diego wrote a god damn mathematical paper on why he shouldn’t get a traffic ticket.

You have homework, I have a wedding to save...
I have a quick story for you, Tumblr. In 2006, I met this amazing girl. She helped me through a lot - depression, my parent’s divorce, and generally a lot of shit that I don’t think I would have gotten through otherwise. Now, in 2012, we’re still very much in love. Thing is, we’re about a thousand miles apart; I live in Oklahoma and she in Manitoba.
Next month, I’m...

I've gotten over my Regeneration Feels.
hopelessbookgeek:
It’s been three weeks since “The End of Time”, but here I am, finally moving on to Matt Smith. I generally feel the way Rose must have felt after she saw Nine regenerate: Yeah, he may be the Doctor, but he’s not my Doctor.
And then “wibbly wobbly timey wimey” and just plain “wibbly” and the whole long speech at the end to the Atraxi and I started thinking, maybe he’s going to...
